Did you know that our white teas are made of fresh buds, that have been handpicked, and some cut with gold scissors, in the early morning hours between 7 and 9, in order for the leaves not to unfurl. The bud is then placed in a velvet cloth to preserve its natural fur, and then left to dry in natural sunlight. These striking silvery-white teas are renowned for their light, delicate flavour and range of health benefits. Jasmine Silver Tips is a blissful combination of Chinese silver needle white tea with fragrant jasmine, the ideal blend to relax and unwind. Lingering in sweetness with hints of honey and pine, the smooth amber-hued Golden Tips is high in antioxidants. Find out more about our rare white teas: goo.gl/bQhsau... See MoreSee Less
